Join Daily Inter Lake reporter Taylor Inman as she goes over the week’s biggest headlines for Northwest Montana.
We’ll get the latest from emergency management officials as they finish assessments of flood-damaged bridges in Lincoln County.
We’ll learn who lost their seats on the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes’ Tribal Council.
And we’ll go through details of body camera footage shared with the Daily Inter Lake, which shows the moments before a Venezuelan man was detained by Whitefish Border Patrol agents and sent to a Northwest Immigration and Customs Enforcement Processing Center in Tacoma, Washington, where he was held a week and then released without charge.
The incident is now the subject of a lawsuit filed in August, which argues that the call catalyzed “a horrific and traumatic experience” for Beker Rengifo Del Castillo.
